Blue Alchemy is an incredible example of the Krogen Express 49′, one of the finest first generation KEs with a meticulous maintenance record and an unbelievable upgrade history. She has now completed the Great Loop three times and her current owners are reluctantly offering her for sale. With her James Krogen designed semi-displacement hull and upgraded 420 hp Cat 3126s, she’s equally comfortableat 9 knots, burning just 5 gph, and over 15 knots when her owners want to quickly cover some ground. Dressed in classic Flag Blue and adorned with a stunning teak transom, this Krogen Express continues to turn heads wherever she goes.
Blue Alchemy is truly a turn-key opportunity for her next owners. In the last 5 years, her owners have spent nearly $300k on electronics, tender, crane, 3 new air conditioners, interior soft goods, bimini and enclosure, refrigerator, oven, Stressless chairs in salon, Starlink, and so much more. And as an added bonus, the sellers are including tools, spare parts, pots and pans, dishes, extra fenders, lines, and cords – basically everything needed for the next journey. Her maintenance history is very well documented with complete CAT oil samples. In short, she is absolutely cruise ready.
The spirit and virtues of commuter yachts of the twenties and thirties were reborn in a craft destined for the twenty-first century with the introduction of the Krogen Express. Conceived and styled by Kurt M. Krogen and designed and engineered by the late James S. Krogen, she delivers traditional quality and exceptional value. Finely finished to the most exacting specifications, her fluid lines and exceptional performance will satisfy the most demanding yachtsmen for years to come. Based on test data and sea trials, it is evident that the Krogen Express is one of the best performing semi-displacement motor yachts available. Her spacious pilothouse, wonderfully livable salon and aft deck, generous staterooms, walk-in engine room, and superb finish make her an exciting and uniquely attractive package.
